This is our second visit to Mae’s Hipcamp! Highly recommended!
I loved camping at Mae's place. We felt like we were camping in a botanical garden. Great facilities with shelter from rain and a very clean and cozy house with a bathroom and showers. Views are stunning, and its a 20 mins drive to Volcanoes National Park, which is a bonus. Mae is fantastic host; she was super quick to get us anything we needed and she really takes care of her guests. I wish there were more hosts like her out there. There is a pond with fish as well, and Mae has a great welcoming dog, which is great to have around as no wild animals intrude the campsite. On site, there are a also a volleyball net, freezebees, and other games for guests to enjoy. The sunrise site has better views, but is less shaded in the morning. I highly recommend this location.

We had a wonderful time! Mae was so nice and our kids loved it. This is a great spot.
We loved the place and also our host. We felt very welcomed, and Mae deoivered everything promised, maybe even more. She has also great helper, Nobbs dog), who came to visit us every morning for back-scratching. We will definitely choose this camping if we will be back on the island.
Mae is precious! She was such a gracious host and she really has a special piece of land. Camp here if you want to feel safe and want a beautiful piece of land to stay on. We rebooked a second night because of how comfortable we felt there. Also bathroom/shower was so nice and the doggo was a great plus :) we will be back! Great vibes!
Mae has her own piece of paradise! Mae was a very kind and accommodating host. She made sure our stay was very comfortable, was willing to answer all my questions before booking, and has a very comfortable camping spot with lots of space, a covered area protected from the rain, and great firewood. My friends and I had a wonderful weekend on her property and hope to visit again on day! Thanks Mae!
Mae was a lovely host and made sure we had everything we needed! The bathroom/shower house is clean and well stocked, and it was worth every penny to have a fire to relax around in camp. Got some dog fix petting Nobs the farm doggo. Easy to find, flat campsites, 10/10 would definitely stay again!

We had a fabulous time at Moon Garden Farm! Mae and her loyal assistant Nob made sure we were happy. We will definitely be back!!
Check out our first review! We enjoyed this place so much we booked again for another night!
We loved our time at Mae’s farm so much we booked agin for a second night! What a beautiful location. Everything was clean, organized and as described but even more beautiful than we imagined! Mae had firewood for sale for us which was also a nice treat and made enjoying our fire very easy! Her dog Nobbs is the sweetest and we loved his visits when he would come to check on us. ❤️ Thanks for every thing Mae! We will be back!
Absolutely blew us away. We could see the allure from the photos and posting, upon arriving it was absolutely perfect. She provided a lot of amenities for anyone that would be there, the bathroom was excellent, and the fire pit provided made the nights even better. We will be back without question and cannot wait!
We’ve stayed at many camps and Mae’s is easily the most beautiful, welcoming and well maintained camp I’ve possibly ever stayed at. She has thought of everything, from solar lights on the shelters to tankless water heaters in the clean, inviting showers - chairs, tables, firepit, grill, and trash can at each site, coffee station on her open patio, the best four-legged greeter I e ever encountered. As a campground host myself, I’m confident in saying Mae’s Moon Garden camp is the most spectacular place I’ve ever camped.
If you’re looking for camping on the island, Moon Farm Garden is a must stay, even with a glamping cabin to open shortly.
The friendly, well kept, comfortable environment is ideal for families, couples, singletons or just a pal’s getaway.
Mae has thought of everything and works hard to ensure her guests are comfortable, safe and happy.
Now I host an Airbnb but this is where I’ll send anyone who asks including my own family.
If you want an amazing camping experience in Hawaii, Mae’s place at Moon Garden Farm raises the bar for all other campgrounds. This place is the best and meets every need imaginable.
Thank you Mae and Nobbs for an unforgettable weekend! 💙🤙🏼
Everything we needed and more! Such a lovely spot, and conveniently located. Will definitely be back! Thanks again, Mae!
Very nice host very welcoming cool place to stay lots of fruits to pick

Mae is very friendly, the showers are warm, and there was a nice netted area to sit in when it was raining.
Just had an incredible getaway at Mae's property, and I can't say enough about her attentiveness! It was wonderful to chat with her and hear about her passion for creating a welcoming space. She should truly be proud of the amazing amenities she's provided for her guests! We camped on top of a Toyota FJ, but I can assure you that tent campers would feel just as at home. 🌲 🌼 Highlights of the stay: Clean bathroom and hot shower 🚿Cozy cooking area 🍳Peaceful pond and lush fruit trees 🍑Friendly farm animals and her adorable dog, Knobs! 🐶This place is a true gem for anyone looking to escape into nature! Can’t wait to return! 🌄❤️ #HipCamp #CampingAdventures #NatureEscape #MaeTheHost #OutdoorLiving

Very beautiful and quiet place with lots of fruits to pick, a nice host and a cute dog :-)
We enjoyed our stay and definitely can recommend this campground!
Thank you Mae :-)
This is an awesome spot! I think this is exactly what a hip camp should be: feels remote, special, private, and very comfortable. Mae has you covered in so many ways. We arrived at the end of a light rain shower, and were so happy to find a covered set of table and chairs under her dome that were bone dry! The place is right off 11, which gets you to Hilo or the National Park. A nice hot outdoor shower with a view of the ocean! Can't get much better than that to start your day.

Mae is the most wonderful host! She is kind, helpful, and very responsive. Her property is beautiful and perfectly situated between the national Park and the amenities of Pahoa and Hilo. Hike all day or hop into town for groceries and the zoo. The kids loved playing volleyball, disk golf, and catching little fish in her pond. 100% would stay with her again!

Me and my sister decided to camp around the Big Island for a week instead of a hotel. We were very excited to arrive at Mae’s campsite and she was an amazing host. Her place was very easy to find with her instructions and she greeted us upon arrival. She showed us around the place and provided a book of recommendations for local places. She also offered us fruit off of her farm and there were a few fun games there. The campsite is beautiful and she had a very nice dog that was fun to hang out with. Overall 10/10.

Mae is an amazing and super friendly host. We had coffee every morning and bonded over our K-drama obsession. Really appreciated her helping me pull my car out of a low spot. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Definitely recommended.
